I think the title is stupid. From my perspective this is an article by inequality of wealth more than an article about men being single, it even tells us this itself by mentioning that married people aren’t getting richer, rather, only more established people get married, thus increasing the overall wealth of married people in statistics. To me this article speaks volumes about how some men are struggling to adapt to a modern society where you have to make yourself a wanted commodity, and how what that is has changed. Not just as a romantic partner but in any part of western society.

Maybe it’s just me, but the article started out by saying that unemployed 30 year old men are increasingly likely to be living with their parents… Isn’t it sort of obvious why those men aren’t going to have an easy time finding a romantic partner? And really, is that really their biggest headline worthy issue?

I guessed it worked though. I mean, it sure had me sign in to see if the article was interesting, but it’s not. It has no solutions and it outlines a problem that have seen an increasing amount of awareness (at least in Scandinavia) for 20 years now. We’re still searching for the answer by the way.
